Why is it important?
As education embraces digital tools, it's essential to understand how technologies like VR support creativity. This study shows that VR headsets can help students think more imaginatively and engage deeply with lessons. The findings suggest VR can be a valuable asset in modern classrooms, especially for creative, student-centered learning.
Perspectives
I believe VR has the potential to reshape how students learn and create. Especially in STEAM education, immersive tools like VR can spark imagination, foster engagement, and connect abstract ideas to real-world experiences. As technology becomes more accessible, I envision classrooms where creative exploration and digital fluency go hand in hand—empowering students to build a more innovative and inclusive future.
